fustian

1 The bad taste of Balzac was of a different description; he composed familiar letters in a fustian style.

2 "Drunk? and speak parrot? and squabble? swear? and discourse fustian with one's own shadow?"

14 Yet the old king received Mr. Adams courteously; and under the pretty fustian of conventional speech the one covered his regrets and the other covered his exultation.

15 That would have been a fit setting for a farm-hand, or a carrier, or some other wearer of fustian.

16 Philip and Mary, “fustian of Naples” is mentioned.

17 One appears in a fustian jacket green as grass.

18 Then he was fond of buying horses, and dogs, and carriages, and used to hold a levee at Spider Court of disreputable-looking men in fustian corduroys, much to Leonard Dagle’s disgust.
